Kodak Black may be on lockdown once again but that won’t stop the Pompano, FL MC from fighting for custody of his toddler son. Kodak alleged that his son’s mother, 19-year-old Jammiah Broomfield, is only concerned with money and has her hands out every time he tries to visit his son.
Speaking exclusive with Bossip, Kodak’s lawyer Raven Ramona Liberty, said,
“She is using the son as an ATM card. He’s a 19-year-old man who is trying to be there for his son, and this woman is blocking that.”
As previously reported, Kodak Black was taken into custody in a Fort Lauderdale, Fla. courtroom Tuesday (Feb. 28) on allegations that he violated the conditions of his house arrest. The rapper’s lawyer Allan Stephen Zamren talked to the Sun Sentinel (March 1) to say that his client was “saddened” by his current incarceration.
Attorney pointed to his current music video “Tunnel Vision” to argue that the Broward County native “isn’t just out there as an entertainer,” said Kodak’s other attorney, Gary Kollin, but an artist who displays “extreme social consciousness with regard to improving race relations.”
According to an arrest warrant filed by a Florida Department of Corrections officer, Black, 19, whose given name is Dieuson Octave, failed to complete a mandated anger management program and went on unauthorized trips to a Miami strip club on Feb. 1 and a boxing match in Ohio on Feb. 18.
The warrant alleges that videos showed Octave at the boxing match and the Miami strip club. Octave’s lawyers say that he was allowed to be at the boxing match and that the strip club incident was a misunderstanding. The lawyers said that because the allegations against Octave constitute “technical violations” instead of the commission of a new crime, they don’t expect that he will remain behind bars for much longer.
Under the terms of the house arrest, Octave was allowed to travel for work-related purposes, which allowed him to perform shows all over the U.S. Attorneys argue that appearances at the boxing match in Cincinnati, where he accompanied boxer Adrien Broner into the ring, and at the Miami strip joint, Club Lexx, could be seen as work-related because of the promotional nature of the appearances.
The custody fight might be the least of Kodak’s worries though still as he’s still awaiting his criminal sexual conduct case in South Carolina.
